Radboud University

Radboud University challenges its students to actively participate in the academic community and trains them to be critical and committed academics, with their own views regarding scholarship and society, who will take up responsible positions in a society which is becoming increasingly internationalised.

The university’s academic staff come from all over the world, and a large proportion of our student population has spent at least some months studying at a university abroad.

Location

Nijmegen is the Netherlands’ oldest city and the centre is bursting with unique historical sites.

Nijmegen offers more than just a rich cultural heritage; the huge student population, numerous events and festivals, unique hotspots and ever-growing number of lively lunchrooms all help to create an irresistible vibe in the city.

If you are looking for the buzz of the city, go to Nijmegen itself. Thanks to the Romans, this is the oldest city in the Netherlands. Visit a museum or shop to your heart’s content before finishing the day at one of the many outdoor cafés for a tasty snack and a drink. The time will fly, but that doesn’t matter: the Nijmegen region has plenty of excellent and even unusual places to stay the night!
